Here’s what’s going on this week in the ASUO.
*Matthew Miyamoto has been appointed to fill the vacant At-Large Seat on the Department Finance Committee. His confirmation hearing before the Senate will be today, Nov. 2. This seat was previously held by current Sen. Alexandra Flores-Quilty.
*No appointee has been announced for Senate Seat 9 (DFC), left vacant by the resignation of Sen. Blake Sedgley. Since Flores-Quilty and Sedgley departed, DFC has not had a quorum and has been unable to legally meet, a bad position to be in with DFC’s benchmark hearing coming next week.
*ASUO Programs Administrator Grace Hochstatter and ASUO International Student Advocate Lal Pekin have resigned. Their jobs have been posted on the ASUO website.
*No appointments to the Elections Board have been announced. The board is responsible for administering the EMU/Student Recreation Center referendum, which will begin in less than two weeks.
*The Appropriate Dispute Resolution Board is asking Senate for a series of line item transfers that will reflect the group’s reorganized mission and goals. Their total budget of $1,130 dollars would be moved into a series of new line items. The Senate is scheduled to hear this request tonight.
*Psi Chi, the psychology honor society, has requested $250 to pay off rental charges owed to the Jaqua Center for last year’s induction ceremony. Senate will also hear this request tonight.
*The Oregon Marine Student Association, a group that supports students at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology in Charleston, has an unknown special request on tonight’s Senate agenda.
*The Senate is scheduled to consider a resolution regarding recent regulations that require resident assistants in University Housing facilities to notify the Department of Public Safety when a student reports a sexual assault.
*The Senate’s Over-Realized Committee will be making a presentation to the Senate this evening.
*The Senate will revisit the proposed changes to the stipend model at tonight’s meeting. For more, see the article in today’s Emerald.
